In the meantime, however, Australia's QT Sydney Hotel has given us a sensor-based thing that offers sarcastic commentary through song.

If someone is taking a solo ride in a QT elevator, the one-person playlist kicks in with tracks like "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" by Elvis Presley or Eric Carmen's "All by Myself."

Upon a second guest's arrival, the QT Sydney elevator sensors will randomly select from the two-person playlist, including songs like "Just the Two of Us" by Bill Withers and "You've Got a Friend" by James Taylor. And when the count reaches four people, the songs switch into party mode, with crowd-pleasers in the AM such as "Summertime" by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince and "Poison" by Bell Biv DeVoe.

It also plays soundbites from Darth Vader and the Terminator, because "Hasta la vista, baby" never gets old. NEVER, I tellz ya! Hey, Australians - "That's not a knoife! THAT'S a knoife!" See how awesome that was?

If the lift played "Fuck the Police" every time it detected a blue uniform, that could be funny. And probably result in a mysteriously vandalized elevator containing a shocking lack of evidence as to who the perp might be.

But..I already have a life soundtrack/elevator music..It's called my ipod..I don't want an uncomfortable elevator party with strangers. It's whole point is so I don't have to interact with strangers...GET OFF MY LAWN.

After careful inebriated consideration I do believe that this is simply a distraction to the unpopular fact that they're putting security cameras in elevators - so much for elevator quickies with random strangers, it is a glorious era that has come to an end...
